Lines were drawn a long time ago, but over time, they've become blurred, such as the ones she drew for her ex-tormentor Josh and his friends, the lines where she promised to never forget her mother, and most of all...the one line she promised to never cross...that line with her once best friend. Now that they're back in each others lives, they're both going to realize that lines sometimes can't be drawn... Soon to be edited, until then, you've been warned lol
